MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

On Thursday evening near o'clock, Mr.
Peter Mueller, who lived at 1l27 South
Lawrence avenue, was observed by Mrs
Mueller to be breathing very heavily while
lying on the bed. The indications We're

Wilson. They arrived in short
time and very soon concluded
that the patient was laboring
under the influence of an over dose of
laudinum. They applied remedies with
out favorable results and near O'Clock.
the patient died
Coroner Wingard being summoned
called yesterday morning and the sur
roundings not being of a character to call
for an investigation at the hands of
jury gave the case little attention.
Mueller moved to this city with his fam
lily several months ago from St. Marys,
Kan, and has been engaged in Burk's
drug store, on Lawrence avenue, near Lin
coin street. For some time it has been
suspected that he was using opiates. but
no one seemed to have definite knowledge
concerning his private habits. 1t is
thought, however. that he was accustomed
to the use of the drug, and it is not known
whether he suicided or his death is due to
a mistake in taking too much.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Again He Did Not Know That the Gun Was
Loaded and Master Belle Shoots Miss Woot-
an in the Right Eye.

A horrible accident occurred last even
ing shortly after S o'clock, near the corner
of Mead avenue and Oak street. which it
is thought will prove fatal. Mr.. Ollie
Belle, boy of near sixteen. pointed re-
volver at Miss Belle Wootan, aged fifteen,
not knowing it was loaded, pulled the
trigger, and the ball took effect
just under the right eye. The girl
cried out to send for the doctor, and did
not fall to the floor but was led to bed
near by Drs. Williams and Heath We're
called and found that the ball had lodged
back Of the left eye, but no brainy matter
could be discovered. The little girl suf
fered intensely, but endured the pain with
a courage rarely found in the sterner
sex Near midnight last night the
doctors said they had been unable
to find the ball, but had not
given up all hopes, thinking they would
possibly be able TO recover it. They pro-
nounced the wound most serious one and
had grave doubts of her recovery. At that
hour symptoms were observed that indi-
Gated fast falling
Miss WOotan, in September, came to the
city from New Albany, Indiana, and has
been stopping with her sister,
Mrs. Mann, whose husband keeps a
grocery store on the corner of Mead
avenue and Oak street. With the family
living in the back rooms of the building
1t seems that Belle, the one who did the
shooting, had been during the day playing
with a revolver which was kept in the
store. He would point it at the employees
and others and was much amused at the
discomfort of those whom he
choosed TO poster The revolver was
empty until about 40 when Charles Page,
an employe, put in some cartridges and
placed the weapon on the safe under some
papers. Belle came in about O'Clock and
soon after Miss Wootan appeared. The
former picked up the weapon and without
Page seeing him again pointed the revolver
at the latter and il fired. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mann were not in the store
at the time but soon ap-
peared to see sister and sister-in-law
wounded and crying for help.
No one seems TO doubt that the affair
was purely accidental, and the only censure
offered Is carelessness on the part of Belle.
IL was suggested TO arrest him last night,
but those concerned insisted that it was
purely accidental and no further trouble
should be made

: VERY SAD.

Yesterday afternoon a telegram was re-
ceiyed from ElDorado announcing the
serious illness Of T. 3. Murdoch, editor of
the Republican. From special to the
Evening Journal, it would seem that he
had been stricken with sudden blindness.
Colonel Murdoch went over on the next
train after the receipt OF the telegram.

dents of the state, MIR. Murdoch lost the

Philadelphia Eye Infrmary, after an ex-
animation, gave his opinion in writing to

middle-life, the other nerve would be like

denly blind. Some three or four years ago
he was without the power of seeing for
three or four days when the sight of the
eye returned slowly. 1t is hoped that in
this instance the obstruction may prove
only temporary, but the worst is feared

AFTERNOON MEETING.
License of Telephone Company Raised to $1,000
Matters OF Importance.

Council met yesterday near o'clock,
with Members Healy, Stone, Derby, john
son, Brown, Harris. Buckridge, Simison
and Kenyon present.
An ordinance was considered creating a
board of health consisting OF three reputa-
BILE physicians and two members of the
city council.
The Texas Lumber company and the
Stock Yards company asked the council TO
order the Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe TO
put crossings on Eighteenth street. ItwaS
so ordered.
Mr.. Derby presented petition from ped
diers, asking annual license to be reduced
from $50 TO s15. Mr.. Derby thought the
license ought TO be increased and not re-
duced, as city taxes are increasing. There
was a general feeling in the council that
the amount should be increased TO $50 in
stead of reducing it to SIS. Ii was thought
that if distinction could be made the
street corner peddlers should be required
TO pay more than the others.
The telephone company was licensed
semi-annually $500. An amendment was
made calling for 8, 500 annually but lost.
Some voting for it said they would vote in
the affirmative as soon as the telephone
boxes in the city numbered four hundred.
The franchise of Archer Electric Light
company was extended ninety days.
Mr. Mathews reported hose house No, .
done and wanted his money for the same.
The treasurer reported - on hand, and
the mayor thought it impossible to pay
5000 with - without changing the rules.
The matter was dismissed without a pay
ment, but the many debts due the city on
the first of the year will replenish the
city treasury with several thousand dol
lars.
1t was decided that the council meet at
city hall on Sunday at 2:15 and take hacks
for the funeral Of Mr.. Woodman. They
will be Joined by other city officials.

\ Little Talk About the Court House Bond
Vote Today.

When men are DESTROYS of achieving an
object it is conceded that united effort is
always essential. I4is union is always
cemented and made stronger in proportion
as the opposition is powerful. We believe
the bombardment of Wichita by her enc
mics all along the line more than any
thing else has tended TO cement our forces
and put it in condition to gain victories
By these unprincipled thrusts our people
have been taught the important lesson
that any division in our ranks
meant death. They have learned
that united our industries can
not be demolished and our prosperity ruin
ed by falsehood and Islander. They have
learned that the armor of self reliance
worn by our host can not be penetrated by
the projectiles used by the Lilliputiau
warriors all over the country who are try
ing to demolish Wichita.
OF course no enemy of Wichita or Sedg-
wick county wants to see a court house i'll
this city that will be d credit instead of
disgrace TO the county. They do not want
to see Wichita next summer the great cen
ter of activity in building operations as it
undoubtedly will be the great commercial
center
Whoever allows himself on any pretext
whatever to oppose, or fail to aid in the
erection of new court house today by
giving his vote in favor of the propo-
sition, will furnish cause for rejoicing by
our enemies. This is an important day
for Wichita Let our people stand shout
der TO shoulder, so that Sunday mornings
EAGLE may record a solid vote for the new
court house. 1t will mean prosperity next
summer. Men who are going to erect
magnificent buildings here next summer
will feel more encouraged when they see
